Toall wub/qm t may concern.-

Be it'known that We, JOHN A. PATTEE and Jos. vB. SOOVELL, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Lamar, in the county of Barton and Stateof Missouri, have invented certain' new and useful Improvements inSpectacle- Cases and Pencil-Holders, of which theI following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

1oj Our invention relates to certain new and usefull improvements inspectacle-cases, or

i withinthe pocket of garment.

gage with the inner faces of the slotted strip more particularly toattachments for thesame, and means for retaining said vspectacle-case lThe object of our improvement is to provide a sure and safe means forholding a spec tacle-case within the pocket ofa garment, so. that a Ipersnnlwearing, thesamewh enasteepin g down, will not lose thespectaclelcase out of L the pocket. Anotherv object is to provide forthe safe retention of a pair` of eyeglasses to the outside of thespectacle-ease, and also be abl'e tocarry a pencil within 'a holderoutside of said casewithout in any way interfer ing with the use of theease.- We attain these objects'by means of the peculiar arrangement Iand construction ofthe various parts, that will be more fully pointedout and described in the speciiication and claims.

Reference being had to the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view ofour invention, showing the pencil-case, hook, and spectacle-case. Fig. 2is a plan viewr of the same, showing slotted strip attached to case.Fig. 3 is a detail view, showingpencil-loop, hook, and transverseengaging-hooks. i T

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

Referring lto the drawings, A represents a spectacle-case of the usualform of construction, having an open end, into which spectacles areintroduced.- On the front of the case is secured a longitudinal metalstrip, a, formed with a slot, f, nearly its entire length.

A curved loop, C, has transverse projecting iianges c c on its innersurface-to ena, and by means of which it is held to the desired position011 the spectacle-case, as shown 1n Fig. l.

-Loop C is formedl ofua single pieee'fol-dd back, so that its open ends'pass each other in the form of a lap, and ashort distance .inward fromeach end the inner 'face of one `a`iid the' outerlface ofthe oppositeend rare punchedV or g, is formed, through which the shank end fi ofhook D passes, said hook being loosely held in place by means of sideprojections, l h, said .projections being of -suiiicient width to'reachthe inner i'aee of end e and pressit againsttiie, outside ofthe pocket.Thehbok D is formed to receive and hold a pair of speetaelesoreyeglasses.- v A 1 Swiveled or pivoted to the loop C, above the hook D,is the' pencil-holder B, cut from a sin- .gle piece of metal', withupwardly-turned sides and tapering points formed to .grasp and hold apencil, b, or pen.

The use and operation of? the device is obvious-and needs nodescription.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letterslat l. A spectacle-ease provided with an attach:

ment for. holding said ease securely inthe pocket of a garment, saidattachmentbeing provided with a hook for holding s ectacles and apivoted clamp forholding'a pe cil, sub-v stantially as shown anddescribed.

2. The combination of the spectacle-case A, having the longitudinalslotted metal stripa secured to its outer front surface, with the loopC, having ear projections c c, projections al, s lot g, hook D,.aud'pencilholder B, slib-- stantially as shown and specided.

In testimony whereof we affix our` signatures -in presence of twowitnesses`.-'
